BROMELAIN was introduced as a medicinal agent in 1957, and since that time over 400 scientific papers on its therapeutic applications have been released in these studies. Bromelain has been reported to exert a wide variety of beneficial effects, including helping reduce inflammation in cases of joint disease, sports injury, and trauma as well as helping reduce swelling after trauma or surgery.†

PAPAIN, TRYPSIN AND CHYMOTRYPSIN are proteolytic enzymes. Administration of proteolytic enzymes may speed the healing of injuries. Proteolytic enzymes have allowed athletes to return to performance sooner than control groups. Chymotrypsin and trypsin have been shown to reduce edema and inflammation.†

NATTOKINASE is created by the bacterial fermentation of soy beans by the bacterium Bacillus natto. Dr. Hiroyuki Sumi discovered and described this enzyme as “the enzyme of enzymes.” Nattokinase functions as a fibrinolytic. Daily use may help reduce the risk of thrombotic events that could otherwise threaten patients’ lives. Nattokinase promotes normal circulation and oxygen perfusion to tissues.†

SERRAPEPTASE is a proteolytic enzyme shown to have anti-inflammatory, antiedemic and fibrinolytic activity. Serrapeptase provides benefits for pain reduction, reduction of viscosity of mucous, and breakdown of abnormal tissue such as scar tissue.†

CELLULASE supports carbohydrate digestion. When cellulose fibers are digested, there is less fermentable substrate and less secondary fermentation inflammatory byproduct. Some reports show that cellulase digests the cell walls of intestinal yeast, reducing gut dysbiosis. Additionally cellulase can reduce allergic reactions by digesting cell wall components that can trigger allergic sensitivity.†

SUPEROXIDE DISMUTASE (SOD) catalyzes the destruction of the O2- free radical (superoxide). As such, it is a vitally important antioxidant and repairs cells and reduces the damage done to them by superoxide, the most common free radical in the body. Studies have shown that SOD acts as both an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent in the body.†

MAKTREK GASTRIC BYPASS TECHNOLOGY is a state-of-the-art system that utilizes an innovative polysaccharide complex derived from seaweed. Enzymes are protein molecules and exposure to the acidic environment of the stomach threatens to denature their polypeptide bonds. MAKTrek gastric bypass technology provides a natural and innovative method for protecting enzymes from the harsh gastric pH. As the InflamaZyme capsule begins degradation by the stomach’s acids, water enters the capsule and binds to the MAKTrek polysaccharide mixture, forming an insoluble complex which acts as a secondary protective coating. This coating protects the enzyme material to provide a significant increase in the delivery of intact enzymes to the small intestine for optimum health-supporting benefits.† ...
